Requirements

Your web host should support:

• Node.js 14 or greater
• MySQL 5.6 or greater, or MariaDB 10.1 or greater

If your host serves Node applications with Phusion Passenger, then app.js will auto-detect Passenger and switch ports & listeners accordingly.

Setup

1. Create your environment configuration file at .env by making a copy of .env-default.
2. You will need to provide access to a MySQL/MariaDB database. Update the following properties in .env:
   • DB_HOST: your database host name.
   • DB_PORT: your database port number (usually 3306).
   • DB_NAME: your database name.
   • DB_USER: your database username.
   • DB_PASS: your database password.
3. Run npm run install to install required Node modules and create the database.
4. Run npm run build to compile the client CSS and JavaScript.
5. Run npm run start to start the server.

By default, the site will be available at http://localhost:8080.

Run npm run uninstall to empty the database.
